“A co-worker is getting into backpacking and is looking into getting one of these packs... Anyone know anything about them?” 10:23:15 AM 9/27/04 “yo scorchy which one” 10:48:50 AM 9/27/04 “he's looking at getting an internal pack. just wanted to know in general if anyone has any experience with them, and if so, how they are.” 11:25:54 AM 9/27/04 “One of my friends has the Outdoor Products version of a CamelBak. Its been okay for him, but I don't know of anyone with the OP backpacks.” 11:41:05 AM 9/27/04 Outdoor Products “I have a number of their tarps, stuff sacks etc...if the quality holds consistant through their product line they should be okay.....” 12:03:16 PM 9/27/04 “I bought one of their packs on a close-out. Never took it on the trail because it just didn't feel right. I have wide shoulders so I attribute my problem to that. Otherwise seemed like a good pack. I'll sell mine to you for what I paid - $40 + shipping.” 12:24:56 PM 9/27/04 “it's not for me... but i'll pass the info along to my co-worker, thanks TnT!!! I'll also give him your email address.” 1:48:27 PM 9/27/04 “okee-dokey.” 1:52:12 PM 9/27/04 “Outdoor Products is a "budget" brand, but hey, I'd rather use a cheap backpack if that's what it took to get me hiking rather than staying at home. I started backpacking years ago with a super cheap pack and an even cheaper tent and a super cheap aluminum mess kit and hiked in blue jeans and cotten t-shirts with cheap boots. But I had a blast.” 3:04:14 PM 9/27/04 “damn, buck, you just called my friend CHEAP... jk ; )” 4:03:07 PM 9/27/04 “I did? I called your friend "cheap"? I thought I called your friend "super cheap"? ha ha! If it were me, I'd rather to to e-bay first and see if I could buy a "good" pack cheaply rather than a new cheap pack. But still, like I said, the main thing is to BACKPACK no matter what! YAAAAAAA!!!” 4:07:27 PM 9/27/04 “I hiked with an off-brand pack for years, and that thing went all over the East Coast. It finally just wore out, but it gave a lot of service.” 4:09:13 PM 9/27/04 “Outdoor Products are sold in Wal-Mart and Kmart. Decent products for a lower price, but you will move beyond them as you get more experince. Hey, Buck is right, hike with what you got.” 4:12:19 PM 9/27/04 “For beginners, it makes sense not to pay a lot of money to start off, at least until they decide they love packing.” 4:14:00 PM 9/27/04 “werd. it took me over a year to get the pack i really wanted. i started out with a kelty and now have my forester.” 4:14:29 PM 9/27/04
